Book Description
"In this important and readable book, Kaufman develops a theory of organizational survival and demise that could fundamentally alter traditional explanations of organizational persistence and systems maintenance. Kaufman views randomness rather than rationality as the key factor in organizational survival. Kaufman has lifted the discourse on organizational behavior to a new level."

Book Description
The completion of the initial phase of the U.S. National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) in 1990 marked the end of the largest environmental research and assessment effort to that time. The resulting series of 27 State of Science and Technology (SOS/T) Reports and the NAPAP Integrated Assessment represent a decade of work by hundreds of scientists, engineers, and economists. Since then, many new, significant, more refined studies on acid deposition have been completed and published, considerably broadening knowledge in this area. Aquatic Effects of Acidic Deposition summarizes and synthesizes these major advancements, particularly those topics that are directly relevant to policy making. It offers complete coverage of recent findings that have substantiated, deepened, modified, or in some cases, revolutionized scientific understanding in environmental research. This resource addresses the quantification of effects and recent developments in predictive modeling capabilities. It covers virtually all aspects of nitrogen effects research, the importance of natural sources of acidity, the influence of land use and landscape change on drainage water chemistry, and the role of short-term episodic events. This comprehensive update thoroughly illustrates the progression and refinement in the field. Aquatic Effects of Acidic Deposition helps you make educated decisions based on the most recent, reliable data for air pollution sensitivities, effects, remediation, and future research.

Book Description
The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.
Customer Reviews:
The Body Electric.......2007-09-12
The information was not what I expected in regard to a misleading title. Anyone in the acupuncture field, as I am, should not be persuaded to buy this book. It basically deals with reptilian experiments done 50 or more years ago. It is a biology book, in a sense. I wish I had not purchased it!
Ohh my... This has to be one of the most interesting books I've ever read!.......2007-08-18
Honestly, if I could give this book 10 stars, I would.
I was worried this would be some hippy-dippy, new age ride, based on some of the chapter headings. But concealed behind the facade of odd chapter headings is a truly amazing scientific work. I'm blown away. Becker & Selden go into excruciatingly beautiful detail of any number of experiments exposing some of the electrical plumbing and electrical signaling going on in complex bodies. This includes bone regeneration through electrical currents, partial or complete limb regeneration in Rats and salamanders through electrical processes. It refers to known cases of young children (under 11 y/o) regrowing fingertips that have been severed in accidents and NOT been operated on, or had skin grafts that inhibit the regenerative process. They also go into the removal of bacterial infections with positive silver electrodes approximating the body's natural healing electrical currents. (I think I now know why colloidal silver is popular as an anti-infections agent and silver nitrate {I think?} is used when babies are born to ward off infection...)
This book is written with the lay reader in mind. You don't need a medical background to understand and be enraptured by this book. As I may have said already (or not), I can't put it down. It's THAT GOOD! I hope this stuff is taught in medical school and more research goes into this field. I have the feeling it holds the key to higher level human regeneration and life extension (through making use of and maintaining the body's existing electrical systems)...
Just... WOW!
Ahead of his time..........2007-02-05
I'm not really one for science books, but this book has got to be the exception. If you have any chronic or 'incurable' disease, try to hold on - because fortunately there are at least a few doctors and researchers out there who are bright enough to think outside the box and challenge existing theories regarding the workings of the human body - in particular, the electricity of the human body and how it coincides with the universe.
The author walks the reader through his discoveries that not only is it feasible for the human body to regenerate (just like the salamander's), but most likely, this is what our bodies were designed to do from the get-go, until we surrounded ourselves with electromagnetic fields of pollution so powerful that our perfectly designed DNA, immune systems, cardiovascular systems, endocrine systems, neuromuscular systems became 'confused' by all the external commotion.
The author of this book represents what research 'should be' about, but for the most part isn't, and the reader cannot help but become a part of this researcher's emotion.
If I ever have a chance to meet the author of this book, I will be honored. Until then, I will recommend this book to anyone who values the perfectly amazing life God gave them and the perfectly synchronized universe He created to sustain that life. I only pray that there are more reseachers out there bravely willing to poke holes in the current theories that the human body is merely a collection of chemical reactions, unopposed by a higher force.
The author touches on this, and I am in agreement - I have to wonder if perhaps all the bad we see around us today - broken marriages, suicides, bombings, disease, pain, suffering, greed - is this merely a by-product of all the manmade electromagnetic distress surrounding each and every one of us on a daily basis? After reading this book, you will think twice about what we've sacrificed for the sake of 'technology' - everlasting life on earth.
Very interesting!.......2007-01-10
If you are pretty well versed in physiology and basic biology, you will probably love this book! As an engineer and experimental scientist Dr. Becker opened my eyes to a whole new area of study which, politics aside, has the potential to change almost every person's life.
It is the best non-fiction book I have ever read.......2006-08-12
The first half the book held my attention like when I read a Clive Cussler adventure.
Dr. Becker patiently explains both biology and electricity building up to providing the understanding of regeneration as his research progressed.
The next half of the book explains first how electromagentism affects humans, then the potential hazards of electromagnetism are addressed.
Overall this book is very well written and I recommend it to all my friends whether they are engineers like me or not.

Whether it's spey casting for steelhead on the Skagit or delicately presenting a dry fly on Lake Lenice, the Flyfisher's Guide to Washington will hook you up with all the necessary details for your next fishing expedition. Essential maps marked with access points, campsites, trails, and boat ramps make this a handy tool and travel companion. Greg Thomas has done his homework and solicited the help of local experts to help dial you into the prime spots. There are tips on wading and reading water, and occasionally some sage commentary: "Winter Steelheading isn't a sissy sport. If you are not cut out for it...don't go through the motions and crowd the river." The hatch charts provide useful monthly insect activity for key lakes, rivers, and streams to help you match the hatch with suggested fly options. As Thomas says in his introduction, "If one angler decided to adequately sample all the good fly water in Washington during a lifetime, it would be impossible." Well, if you're up for it, this guide will help you try. --Todd Sloan
Book Description
Everything an angler needs to know about flyfishing Washington is included in this comprehensive guide. Washington has a host of opportunities, from steelhead and salmon in coastal rivers to trophy trout in lakes and rivers. This guide shares the format that has made the Flyfisher' s Guide Series so successful: thorough descriptions, detailed maps and hatch charts, full fly shop information, and travel information. There has never been a better book for Washington flyfishers.

A Few Days with the Flyfisher's Guide.......2006-11-04
Comprehensive and useful info. Will help fishermen choose among alternatives in areas they are interested in traveling to. Seems to be very current information.
OK, but not great........2006-06-25
Compared to other Wilderness Adventures Press, "Flyfisher's Guide to..." books I have read and own,(CO & N. CA) this one is a bit lacking. Fishing tactics and recommended tackle is covered well, but the driving directions are a bit vague and maps aren't as detailed as they could be. Also there are only hatch charts for a selected few of the fisheries. Other WAP books I have read included hatch charts/fly suggestions for most if not all the fisheries it covered. If you are a WA flyfishirman chances are you already have this book. Even if it's a bit lacking compared to other WAP books, if you live in WA or fish WA regularly, you should own this book. It just seems a bit dated and could use a revision. My .02 cents.
Covers the Popular Spots Well.......2000-08-05
The guide book is a good start to a new WA fisher. It covers the major river systems (only) in good detail. It does not mention any of the other waters. The hatch guides are helpful and the river descriptions give you a good idea of what to expect.
This isn't the book for you if you are already familiar with the popular stream and you are looking for some out-of-the-way sleeper streams.

Much better than most manuals i've seen. Sufficient details and illustrations so that you don't have to scratch your head about some stupid little detail.
Better than the factory manual.......2005-12-30
I'm not a fan of Clymer manuals in general, but this one seems better than most. It's better than the factory manual (which I also have).
As far as I can tell, it has all the info you'll need to work on your KLR, and it's less than $20. If the book helps you fix one thing and avoid the dealership, you'll save way more than the price of the book.
KLR650 Service Manual.......2005-10-19
The Clymer's Kawasaki KLR650 service manual is certainly very good for the money spent. It has lots of pictures making service procedures clear. Amazon will save you $10 off motorcycle shop prices easily. Amazon shipping got it here quick also. Kawasaki dealer manuals would have cost me at least $75 for the operators manual and service manual package. It was well worth it to order this book from Amazon. I did a successful clutch service job by this book.
Do your own maintenance! Extend the life of your KLR and save!.......2005-09-16
The Clymer manual is a great manual to have around. If you own a KLR650 you should really pick one up! Go through this manual to get more familiar with your machine and then get a little bit greasy. When it comes to the maintenance needs of the KLR you should rely on yourself to ensure everything is done right. Most people feel that dealers are too impersonal and may be uncomfortable with leaving their bike to be worked on. Well here's something to help you along.
You will save money with this manual.......2005-03-19
I found this service manual to be a valuable tool in mantaining and repairing the KLR 650.
Very detailed, step by step instructions for valve clearance adjustment and many other tasks that cost a small fortune to have completed at the repair facility.
This manual is the best tool you could invest in for repairing your KLR 650

Book Description
An inside look at the company that defined American industry and the man who runs it
Ford Tough is the contemporary story of a company fighting to position itself in a new era of business, with the founder's visionary great-grandson as the leader of the new Ford Motor Company.
Bill Ford Jr. is the first Ford family member to run the company since 1979. A self-professed environmentalist and by all accounts a "nice guy," he might not seem the most obvious choice for a hard-nosed corporate leader. But his vision of the company's future, his genuine care for his employees, his well-timed toughness, and his obvious concern for the long-term well-being of Ford Motor Company have proven to be essential characteristics for the leader of America's most famous brand.
Ford watched the company decline beginning in 1999 as then-CEO Jacques Nasser tried to remake the automaker into a new economy business. When the plan did not work, Ford stepped in to rebuild the automaker and restore faith from employees, consumers, and dealers. He guided Ford Motor Company through its troubled times and a successful centennial celebration.
With its massive size and a troubled economy, leading Ford Motor Company into the twenty-first century will be no easy task. Ford Tough looks at the modern rebuilding and the future of a company that defines American know-how and American culture.
David Magee (Lookout Mountain, Tennessee) is a former newspaper editor and columnist, as well as an automotive expert who has been featured on National Public Radio, Bloomberg TV, and the Discover Channel, among other news and media outlets.

Superficial and out of Date.......2006-11-25
Rather than saving the company, little Billy Ford had to take it over to prove to his infamous family that he could handle it all by himself. Since then, the company has gone down the drain, the product plan is a mess, plants have had to be closed, and the company has had to shed tens of thousands of workers. He drove the company off a cliff and all but ruined everything.
Now, fortunately, he is gone - and the more important story is what comes next - if anything - out of the wreck.

Magee's book is mainly a adulatory puff piece on Bill Ford, great-grandson of Henry Ford. Magee opens with Ford's coommendable reaction to an explosion at its huge River Rouge plant - choosing to quickly go to the scene, followed by hospital visits and attending funerals.
Magee then goes on to delineate a number of problems that occured under its new CEO - Jac Nasser, a career employee. Unfortunately his strategies did not work out, resulting in large losses and deep dissension within the company and its dealer network. Sources of problems included implementing a "rank-and-yank" system (similar to G.E.'s) that pitted white-collar employees against each other, buying and operating 50 dealerships in an effort to try new approaches -> creating fear within the ranks of existing dealers, buying and operating servicing and fueling operations in England -> fear of similar intrusions into U.S. dealer operations, quality problems delaying and marring the T-Bird's re-introduction, squeezing dealer margins, expanding Ford Credit operations -> losses, and an excess focus on its premier foreign car line (Jaguar, Land Rover, and Volvo) -> perception that the basic Ford line was being unattended.
Again, Ford, to his credit, recognized the problem and took action to replace Nasser and change directions to correct the problems - restoring tranquility and profitability.
Unfortunately, that is not the end of the story. Ford (as well as G.M. and Chrysler) is losing market share to Japanese car-makers, its SUV moneymaker sales have declined with rising gas prices, its competitive position vs. Japanese car-makers is considerably weakened due to high legacy costs for worker healthcare and pension costs, and its credit-rating (along with G.M.) has been dropped to junk-bond status. Meanwhile, a loss is projected for 2005, its stock price has dropped about 40% in the last 15 months (90% since 1977). Latest information is that they will be cutting staff 70,000 - not a good omen!
This is not to say that William Ford is a poor manager - simply that it faces a very difficult and uncertain road ahead.
Interesting story of Bill Ford.......2005-06-28
When Bill Ford took over Ford Motor, the company was in dreadful shape. Under his leadership, Ford has made plausible progress. This book recognizes that, but it also recognizes there are still problems with the company, due in large part to industry ailments, the end of SUV sales and outdated products.
The books makes it obvious however that he is not hiding from these issues and is instead addressing them head on.
This is the first account of Henry Ford's great grandson and it offers much insight into how he sees the world and runs one of America's most important companies.
A bit rosy, but good nonetheless........2005-01-14
My dad use to work for Ford in the late seventies, so he bought Fords well into the early eighties. So, as a kid growing up the eighties, all I saw was my dad trying to fix the Fords in the late eighties. I actually thought that a car breaking down every few months was actually normal. Needless to say, I own a Toyota now. So this book intrigued me. How could a company that my father was proud of revive itself to something that I might consider purchasing a product from?
Well, this book describes Bill Ford's life and the life of the Ford Motor company. To address the negatives first, while mostly honest, he tends to overestimate how bad things have gotten in the nineties while and overestimates how good Ford is in the present day and in the not so recent past. He gives the impression that Ford's quality issues and their financial problems were recent problems that are totally resolved. He makes Bill Ford look like a super genius who fixed everything in his first few year.
Now to point out the good. This book is part history lesson, part biography, part financial, part business book all mixed into one. Magee actually goes into depth with not just mere anecdotes and Bill Ford's life story, but gets into numbers and processes. He talks about management styles, he talks about strategies. He delves into design and the competition. More importantly, he brings a lot of relevant and pertinent information in a fluid, quick manner that doesn't bog down the reader.
I will definitely read more books from this author, and for anyone interested in the automotive industry, or anyone interested in large corporations, this book is a must read.
